He’s also an old college buddy.”
“Well, your old college buddy, the doctor, said that I should rest for twenty-four to forty-eight hours. He gave me the all clear…and
besides, I feel perfectly fine.”
“I’m glad that you do, I want to make sure that you keep
feeling perfectly fine. In fact, I’ll ask Angela for the name of the
obstetrician who delivered Gigi.”
“I’m not so sure about that.”
“Why?”
Blushing, Tiressa answers, “I don’t feel comfortable with men
doctors. If it’s not a real emergency and if a female doctor isn’t available,
then fine. But if given a choice, I prefer women doctors.”
“Fair enough. If it’s a man, then I’ll ask him to refer us to
a highly qualified female obstetrician. Besides, I’m not fond of the idea of
some dude all up in my lady’s private business,” he says with an exaggerated
cringe. “I’m a bit too old-fashion for that.”
“You mean a bit too barbarian,” Ti teases, loving his strong
Italian looks.
“That’s right, we barbarians see every dick as a threat and we
don’t care who it’s attached to.” Tony chuckles at his wit, momentarily
distracted by the pups chasing each other around the balcony of their master
suite. But he soon turns his attention back on Tiressa picking at the food on
her plate, “What’s the matter, aren’t you hungry? You’ve hardly touched your
breakfast.”
“That’s because you’ve piled so much on my plate when I only
asked for toast and poached eggs,” she says laughing and shaking her head at
the small mound of food he had his cook, Garrett, prepare for her.
“I want my son to get what he needs,” he smiles at his
beautiful ebony princess, already proud of the beautiful babies they are going
to make together.
“Antonio, I’m barely pregnant and your daughter is
satisfied with a piece of toast and a couple of eggs. If I try to eat anything
more, I’m afraid my stomach will revolt.”
His critical silver gaze sweeps her from head to toe pausing
at length on her stomach. “Have you made an appointment to see an
obstetrician?”
“Not exactly.” She puts out her hand to stay him. “Hold on
before you start blasting me with questions, I’ve made an appointment to see my
primary care doctor and she will refer to me to an obstetrician.”
Antonio frowns even more. “No, I don’t like that. I want you
to have the best medical care possible. While I’m checking with Angela, I’ll
also ask my physician if he has someone he could recommend; I trust him
implicitly.”
“So, you don’t trust me to find a highly qualified doctor on
my own?”
“Now, Baby, don’t go getting your feathers ruffled, it’s not a
matter of trusting you; as I said, I want my baby and you to have the
best care possible.”
“Antonio—”
“Don’t Antonio me, and don’t start a fight you’re not going to
win,” he says with a cocky smile getting up from the table. “Are you done rearranging
your food?” he frowns down at her untouched plate.
“Yes, I’m done, but this conversation isn’t.”
“It is for now. Come on, let’s get to the hospital.”
Chapter 2
“Are you fucking serious, you called Security?!”
“As you are not willing to leave this room, you left us no
choice.”
“You’re damn right I won’t go!”
“Will please, calm down,” his sister, Gabby tries to reason
with him, placing a restraining hand on his arm, that he quickly shakes off. “You’re
not helping Kathy by acting this way. Let Dr. Campbell and Dr. Hill do their
job. We can wait out in the waiting room until they’re finished.”
“I’m not leaving her,” Will snarls stubbornly, setting his
cerulean gaze back on the woman
